You mention one of those alternatives here and Mouse Look (aka Freelook) offers the full 6DoF

It doesn't matter how many times you say it, mouselook is 2dof, not 6.

Yes, they have a right to protect their work and efforts, but I don't think they should stop anyone from trying to enter the market, and that they should make it easier for developers and gamers by supporting a standard way of providing headtracking i.e. like we have with joysticks, as others have already posted in this thread.
